“I have a deal I want to make with Lord Xu, I wonder if Lord Xu is interested?”
The Dragon Queen looked at Xu Ming and said slowly.
Xu Ming was curious: “I am willing to listen attentively, and I will definitely bring Your Majesty’s words back to Wudu.”
Xu Ming felt that it was very likely a deal between Wu State and the North Sea Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Queen shook her head: “It’s not a deal between the North Sea Dragon Palace and Wu State, but a deal between me and you, it has nothing to do with your Wu State.”
“Huh?” Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at the Dragon Queen in disbelief, wondering if he had heard correctly, “Your Majesty, a deal with me?”
Xu Ming couldn't figure out what someone of his realm and status could possibly possess that the Dragon Queen would want.
The only thing on him that the Dragon Queen might find valuable was probably his Red Sleeve Immortal Sword.
But he had never shown that sword, how would she know?
If she really wanted his sword, he definitely couldn't make this deal.
He was going to refine Red Sleeve into his Natal Flying Sword, what would he use if he handed Red Sleeve over?
“That’s right.” The Dragon Queen nodded, “Doesn’t Lord Xu want the exquisite pearl?”
Xu Ming: “Yes.”
“I can personally retrieve the exquisite pearl for you, but Lord Xu must promise me one thing.” The Dragon Queen said.
“Your Majesty, please speak frankly.” Xu Ming became vigilant.
There is a saying—free things are often the most expensive.
If he were to retrieve the exquisite pearl from the Nether Abyss of the North Sea himself, even if it was a narrow escape from death, he would feel more at ease.
At least he would feel that there would be no problem with the exquisite pearl.
But if she really wanted to give it to him, he had to be careful, he had to weigh whether he could afford the price she asked for.
“It’s not a difficult thing.” The Dragon Queen said calmly, “My North Sea Dragon Palace still lacks a Diarist. Within ten years, just stay in my North Sea Dragon Palace. During these ten years, the North Sea Dragon Palace will provide all the cultivation resources that Lord Xu needs, definitely no less than what Wu State provides. How about this deal?”
Xu Ming: “…”
The meaning of the official position of Diarist is different in different dynasties.
In some dynasties, this official position is to take care of the emperor's daily life, and in some dynasties, this official position is mainly responsible for drafting the emperor's edicts.
And in the Four Seas Dragon Palace, Xu Ming had learned that the official position of Diarist is actually a kind of historian, specializing in recording the Dragon Queen's words and deeds and some life matters.
To an excessive extent, the diarists of the Four Seas even have to record which wife the Dragon King favored one night, and which wife he favored the next night.
To some extent, the official position of Diarist is even closer than taking care of the emperor's daily life.
“Why did Your Majesty choose me for this official position?” Xu Ming asked.
Logically speaking, this kind of close-range official position should be held by confidants, and the Dragon Queen is a woman, her identity is sensitive, and it is even more impossible for her to let a man serve as her Diarist.
Not to mention that the other party is still a pure love warrior.
The Dragon Queen tilted her head, her voice echoing in the room: “The reason why I chose you to be my Diarist is naturally because I value your talent. In our North Sea, there is indeed no one who can compare to you.
Moreover, you are a human being, and you are not from the North Sea. If you are my Diarist and record my words and deeds, it will be more convincing.
As for you being a man, what does it matter?”
“…” Xu Ming thought that this matter was very important, “Before me, who was Your Majesty’s Diarist?”
The Dragon Queen shook her head: “Before you, I didn’t have a Diarist, and indeed no man has ever held a position in my inner palace. You are the first.
However, you are the second man who is so close to me.”
Xu Ming: “…”
Xu Ming naturally knew who the first one was, the first one was his old flame, who he hasn't found yet.
“I don’t understand.” Xu Ming shook his head.
The Dragon Queen seemed to be very patient: “What don’t you understand?”
“I don’t think I have anything special. Is it just because I have talent that Your Majesty keeps me here?”
Xu Ming didn't believe that his talent was the reason she chose him.
If she was a licentious Empress, he could understand.
Xu Ming felt that although he wouldn't say he was incomparably handsome, but no matter what, if he were placed in a university, he should be at the level of a campus hunk.
So if the other party was that kind of very thirsty woman, it would be normal for him to be a gigolo.
Not to mention that he is still a martial artist, that is definitely the kind that is deeply loved by rich women.
But the problem is, this Dragon Queen can be said to be the representative of pure love! There is not a single stain on her private life! It is even more impossible for her to keep gigolos.
Not to mention that his appearance is above average, even if he is the number one beauty in this world, this Dragon Queen would not even look at him.
“You’re right, I let you be the Diarist, not just because of your talent, there must be other reasons, but you don’t need to know yet, you just need to answer me whether you agree or not.” The Dragon Queen’s tone was very calm.
Xu Ming thought for a while, found an excuse, and wanted to refuse: “Your Majesty, ten years is indeed a bit long.”
Dragon Queen: “Then five years.”
Xu Ming continued: “Actually, I have a lot of things to do.”
Dragon Queen: “Three years.”
Xu Ming: “Your Majesty, this is not a matter of time, but…”
“Lord Xu, don’t be so quick to refuse me.” The Dragon Queen interrupted Xu Ming, “Lord Xu can go back and think about it carefully, and understand what is in the Nether Abyss of the North Sea. When that time comes, Lord Xu can answer me again.”
Xu Ming: “…”
“I’m a little tired.” The Dragon Queen threw a jade token on the table, Lord Xu, you can come to the palace to find me at any time after you have considered it.”
After the words fell, the Dragon Queen did not wait for Xu Ming to refuse, and continued to lie back on the bed, the bed curtain slowly lowered.
After hesitating three times, Xu Ming could only take the jade token and bow to the lowered bed curtain: “Thank you for Your Majesty’s kindness, I will consider it carefully, then I will take my leave.”
